Good job he's a football player, not an investment.he's a bit of a dead investment if he really does have to do national service in a few years time.

He will deliver, given some time, patience and level-headed expectations..
Yeah it's such a shame SK didn't get even bronze. Really thought they had a shot at getting something. Now I don't really know what we can do to stop his service. I guess we have to hope something can be worked out to delay it but ether way, as you say, not great for us or him.he's a bit of a dead investment if he really does have to do national service in a few years time.
Look, I could be wrong, and hope I am, but I'm far from convinced he's our saviour.
He has to win a medal at the Asian games but that isn't until 2018Yeah it's such a shame SK didn't get even bronze. Really thought they had a shot at getting something.

Son has to complete military service before he turns 30, he is 23 right now. He can defer military service past 30 if he declares residency . We have him on a 5 year contract, five years of living in the UK means he is eligible for a permanent UK residency card.Yeah it's such a shame SK didn't get even bronze.

Sangmoon Bae the golfer lost his court case to get military service deferred he was age 29. LYP was given an exemption after SK qualified for the world cup semis. He can get an unlimited German residency permit as well I think as he lived in Germany for 7 years. Yeah Park got a backlash and he apologised, I'm sure Son knows what he is getting himself into.He has to start national service before he turns 28
Park Chu Young got residency for Monaco and as a result there was big backlash towards him, so getting residency may not be an option and he may hurt his chances in the South Korean national team
The other option is that he win an medal at the asian games in the next 2 years.
Will this sweet young Korean girl be able to convince you? What if i tell you with Son in our team, you'll see a lot of them things at the Lane?

He had a disastrous performance against Honduras, including spurning several clear cut chances to score, and carelessly passing the ball to a Hoduran player that sprung a counter-attack and the lone goal in a game Korea should have won easily. Son's reaction after the match was a bit surprising, too. He went after all of the officials and had to be restrained by teammates for the lack of added time, and then proceeded to collapse to the ground and was inconsolable for a very long period of time before four members of the SK staff helped led him off the pitch.
Poch is going to have to do a major job with him, as I fear the Olympic failure, which caused quite a bit of criticism towards him, and looming military service, will be on his mind for a while. I also think he's got to adapt his game if he wants to make it past this season at Spurs. I've followed him since he was at Hamburg and his lack of incisive passing in the final third for an attacking midfielder has always been his weak point. His biggest attribute is his two-footed ball striking, but in England, he doesn't get any space to tee up the ball the way he wants.
Overall, if he's our primary cover for Kane, Eriksen, and Alli, he's going to have to change course quickly, because I fear he is regressing as a player right now.
Here's a video of it:
